RSSC2021 was made possible and was successfully delivered online, thanks to the amazing participation of our Researchers, from attending preparation sessions, to abstract submission and finally to poster or oral presentations on the day. It was indeed very difficult to select the winners for outstanding posters and presentations and this is evidenced by how close the final results were.
